“I’m Betting All My Life Savings on You”: Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou Impresses Fans With His Ripped Physique Ahead of Tyson Fury Fight

One of the biggest and perhaps the ‘heaviest’ crossover fights in recent times is one and a half months away. As the recent press conference showed, neither Tyson Fury nor Francis Ngannou could be expected to budge an inch. Given their respective pedigrees, both boxers aren’t leaving any stone unturned. The Camaroonian-French fighter has roped in Mike Tyson to assist him. Fans and followers frequently come across footage and photos of Ngannou going about his training. Hence, pictures of a shredded and muscular Ngannou early today must have stunned quite a few.

The photos were taken while he was in training, as the boxing gloves are visible. Already, over a hundred thousand people have liked it. Many more commented. Tyson Fury remains the heavy favorite to win next month, but most who wrote seemed happy that Francis Ngannou is working hard for his pro-boxing debut.

Francis Ngannou prepares for the big battle

The following user mentioned that he is putting everything he owns on the line for Francis Ngannou’s success since he has complete faith in him and knows that the former UFC Heavyweight champion will succeed. The user said, “I’m betting all my life savings on you. I promise because I believe you can do it, and you will do it.” Then, calling Ngannou the most dangerous man in the world, this fan, probably meaning ‘failure isn’t an option,’ wrote that ‘failure’s not an opinion.’

Maybe he expects Ngannou to enter history by staging a grand upset on October 28, “The real baddest man on the planet… come on, champ, you got this on [October 28]. Remember, failure isn’t an opinion. Shine your dream on [October 28], shock the world, and make history…”

Perhaps much irritated by Tyson Fury’s talks, this fan urged ‘The Predator’ to knock the wits out of ‘The Gypsy King.’ He said, “Fury needs to sleep, bro. Make him sleep. He talks too much. Please don’t let us down.”

The following user said that maybe Tyson Fury could give up without fighting since Francis Ngannou is more potent than iron: “Fury should just forfeit because, eeeh, this black man is stronger than iron.” Finally, to the following fan, it appears as if Ngannou has the physical strength to knock someone ‘out of their shoes’: “Champ, you look like you could hit someone out of his shoes.”

The announcement might have surprised many when they learned of Tyson Fury taking on former UFC Heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou. The ace mixed martial artist had hinted at a career move to the squared circle.

After fighting his last cage fight against Ciryl Gane in January of the previous year, Ngannou was out of the UFC by the year’s end. Apart from Fury, there were even talks of a fight with Deontay Wilder. In May, the fighter entered a multi-fight deal with the Professional Fighters League (PFL). However, he will be free to participate in boxing matches.
